Birthday Bash in a Box
The 5th & 6th graders of WNL are starting a new mission project for kids in our community. They would like to make Birthday boxes for families who can't afford to give their children the kind of party other kids have.
We hope to include in a box:
Cake mix
Frosting
Cupcake cups
Candles
Themed plates
Cups
Napkins
Table cloth
Plastic utensils
Cake decorations
Simple games
Goodie bags
Small toys and candy to go in goodie bags
If you have leftovers from your party or want to buy new please bring them to the church and place them in the birthday box around the corner from the parking lot door.
Kids love themed parties: Batman, Princess, Cars, Barbie... but, anything is welcome.
Thank you for your help, our kids will have fun making the boxes and knowing their helping to make a child's birthday a special one.
